It is now one of the largest staffing firms in the U.S.

The DISYS mission revolves around the power of teamwork to make the company “the go-to global talent productivity partner, by focusing on [its] core staffing expertise and creating innovative business solutions built on automation.” It has differentiated itself by featuring automation processes in all customer offerings, and in 2016, it even created an Automation Center of Excellence, a development hub that works on custom client solutions in the areas of robotics process automation (RPA) and scripting and automation testing best practices.

NewsBreaks spoke with CEO and founder Mahfuz Ahmed, who shares how he has strategically facilitated the company’s growth, and with Deanna Murray, DISYS Industry Insights, about the ways DISYS serves its clients. Our conversations have been condensed and edited.

NewsBreaks: How did DISYS grow from a two-person basement operation into what it is today?

Mahfuz Ahmed: From its inception, DISYS has gained benefit from a business model firmly planted in the strategic study of data-driven analytics and business planning. This disciplined approach led me to recycle 97% of the company’s profits for the first 12 years back into the company to continually stimulate growth, invest in the expansion of services, and increase reach. Now in its 23rd year, DISYS has grown into a $300 million company.
